erm i think it was like.. what do you notice after a concert, what happens after a rock concert? something you would do apart from staying at home? and what evidence is there to suggest that the writer likes concerts?

what do you notice after a concert?
Didn't get this in the exam but from what I remember of the french when I looked it up the answer was something like, you couldn't hear very well or your hearing is bad.

what happens after a rock concert?
You may hear a whistling noise in your ears (I put ringing in the exam but the french word was sifflent which means whistling)

something you would do apart from staying at home?
Complain to the organisers of the concert.

what evidence is there to suggest that the writer likes concerts?
I didn't get anything meaningful for this question.

Okay thank you! i didnt get 'sifflent' but i got the others you said and then for the last one i think i put something like he likes enjoying the full experience of concerts which means taking risks but im not sure! i found this question the hardest and the rest reasonable enough

i thought that this reading paper was very difficult and some questions were confusing. I thought that some bits were quite easy but most of it was 10 times harder than last year's reading paper!!!! I would have done really well if i had of got last years paper. I don't get why ccea is making all the tests this year 10 times harder than last years.

I think the reason they are making the papers harder is to try and differentiate better between top level candidates. With an easier paper the difference between an A* and an A could be the difference between making an unintentional error or mistake.

The only bit of good news is if everyone thought the paper was hard, which seemed to be the general opinion, then the grade boundaries should be lower.
